Mogwai today return with their new single “God Gets You Back” and announce a huge 2025 world tour. It is the first new music from Mogwai in 2024, with more to come, and follows the announcement and premiere of Mogwai: If The Stars Had A Sound - a first documentary about the band directed by longtime collaborator Antony Crook - and a sold out first band-curated festival, Big City, which took place in their hometown of Glasgow this summer. “God Gets You Back” arrives with a video directed and created by Hand Held Cine Club (Justin and James Lockey).
“God Gets You Back” is a well-calibrated return, a song that forgoes resting on their laurels after the success of 2021’s official UK #1 album, As The Love Continues. Driven by an arpeggiated synth, “God Gets You Back” builds gracefully, with drummer Martin Bulloch ensuring the track continues to move forward with purpose. Barry Burns decided the song “needed some melody or vocals, but I couldn't come up with the lyrics so I asked my 7 year old daughter to make some up, and she did and I sang them". The song feels like a natural culmination of their considered work on celebrated soundtracks for Zidane: a 21st Century Portrait, ZeroZeroZero and Les Revenants and the heft of As The Love Continues.
The 2025 tour takes in dates in Asia and North America, as well as a full UK/EU; for full routing please see below. Tickets for the tour are set to go on sale via a presale at 10AM on 18 September, with a venue presale at 10 AM on 19 September and general sale available at 10 AM on 20 September. Mogwai are proud to be partnering with War Child throughout the tour, where a £1/€1/$1 charitable contribution will be made from every ticket sold.
On the world tour, Mogwai’s Stuart Braithwaite says, “we are immensely excited about heading out on our first worldwide tour since the pandemic. We’re going to some brilliant places and can’t wait to perform our new songs.”
